About Us

Departure Coffee is a specialty coffee shop and small batch bakery hailing from Hanover, PA and originally known as Salt & Sugar Bakehouse. What started as a very small bakery in The Markets at Hanover has grown into a storefront in New Freedom which is set to open in Spring 2025. Our goal is to bring great coffee and baked goods to the New Freedom and surrounding areas and to serve the patrons of the Heritage Rail Trail. We look forward to creating a new space for the community and a hub for trail users of all kinds.
